This kind of extra footage was requested and highly anticipated. Although the original release went viral it also managed to divide opinions and stir the internet. Many claimed this hoverbike is not real and that the footage has been produced with use of AI or CGI. It is not hard to imagine why – the futuristic vehicle seems to not obey the laws of physics with no visible means of generating lift or maintaining unprecedented stability with its rider on top of it.
Volonaut is confirming the authenticity of all officially released video materials saying that a real, fully functional and flying prototype vehicle has been piloted by the inventor with zero use of special effects, AI or computer generated imagery.
Volonaut is about the celebration of technology, engineering and design that materialize science-fiction dreams.
This approach resulted in a fully functional real-world speeder bike that so far only existed in sci-fi movies.
The world’s first flying superbike is catered to those who thrive on speed and innovators alike, fusing futuristic aesthetics with innovative approach to engineering.
Airbike is not just another flying machine; it’s a statement of freedom, thrill, and cutting-edge technology. It represents a new and very exciting way of experiencing the skies.
2) Revealing the price and opening of Early Access Pre-Order reservations.
“It was always my dream to create a personal flying machine so futuristic and iconic that it could be placed on a science fiction movie set.
The challenge was to come up with real-world reliable core technology that can be shrunk down and wrapped with a functional and bold design .
The result is a first of its kind vehicle with incredible performance, stunning looks that actually resembles a sports motorbike, and it is flying!”
said the inventor and founder, Tomasz Patan.
Volonaut will manufacture a commercial hoverbike version with a top speed of 102km/h or 63mph to meet the “Ultralight” classification requirements allowing everyone to ride it in the air outside of densely populated areas without needing a pilot license.
Specially developed training led by professionals will ensure that owners learn to safely and responsibly operate their “speeders”.
The Airbike will go into production in limited numbers at the launch price of $880,000.
Reservations open on August the 1st, exclusively through Volonaut website: volonaut.com
3) Unique flight experience.
The Airbike is the first hoverbike to achieve flight without traditional propellers, marking a historic milestone in aviation technology.
Thanks to this the flight is exceptionally smooth with no vibrations and a great degree of control, making the human-machine bonding experience incredibly rewarding and exciting.
The rider literally feels like a superhero with the ability to glide through the air with no effort and the sensation of full three-dimensional freedom.
4) Additional details and Airbike specifications.
More details are revealed about Airbike redundant and safe propulsion:
Multiple powerful jet engines give the vehicle fantastic performance and the ability to safely hover even in case of partial failure.
This unique solution has many benefits resulting in a very small footprint, extremely low mass and hovering without any ground effect that is often problematic for helicopters and VTOLs using propellers.
A variety of fuel types can be used including diesel, biodiesel, Jet-A1(aviation jet fuel) or kerosene. Re-fueling can be done in under one minute allowing for almost continuous operation.
One of the remarkable features of the Airbike is its ability to navigate through tight spaces that are barely wider than the vehicle itself.
A fully redundant fly-by-wire control system sends riders inputs straight to a triple-redundant flight computer which combines them with data from onboard sensors and feeds to the stabilization system.
This ensures safety and at the same time allows for a hands-free steady hovering, agility and flying in most demanding conditions.
On top of that the flying motorcycle can automatically land and take-off on its own, making the flight experience safer.
The Airbike is best suited for exploring the skies over less densely populated areas. Even though its jet propulsion generates substantial roar in close distance, the high frequency nature of the sound quickly dissipates in the air and is barely noticeable at distance – as demonstrated in the video.
Thanks to clever engineering and advanced materials the empty vehicle mass is only 30kg(66lbs), allowing for easy transportation and handling by one person.
Maximum allowable rider mass is 95kg(209lbs).
Volonaut continuously works on increasing the Airbike flight times which currently offers up to 10 minutes of thrilling flight experience.
Volonaut already started the work on a pre-production version and aims to share its first flight footage in 2026.
